Earthy tones of off-white, cream, warm beige, soft ochre and dark brown create a serene and grounding effect. Charcoal and metallic copper leaf highlights add subtle shimmer and depth.
This abstract piece evokes a sense of calm and contemplation.

The minimalist composition and neutral palette uses acrylic and ink with metallic copper leaf, similar to gold leaf, catches the light, shifting from a burnished bonze tone to a bright penny-like hue depending on the lighting/ viewing angle. This creates a dynamic visual experience as you move around the artwork.
